Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Enhanced tissue repair and regeneration increasingly rely on biomaterials that go beyond passive support, actively promoting healing through tailored mechanical properties, bioactivity, and well-defined surface chemistry and micro/nanotopography. In particular, functional coatings and engineered interfaces play a crucial role in regulating early protein adsorption, cell adhesion, immune response, and antibacterial performance, which often determine the success of implants and tissue-engineering scaffolds.
This Special Issue, ‘Advanced Biomaterials and Technologies for Enhanced Tissue Repair and Regeneration’, welcomes original research articles and reviews on advanced biomaterials, innovative processing strategies, and validation in relevant biological models. We particularly encourage contributions on melt electrowriting, electrospinning, and 3D printing/biofabrication to create instructive architectures for wound healing and bone regeneration, including multifunctional systems with antimicrobial and pro-angiogenic activity. We also welcome works on surface functionalization and laser processing strategies for micro-/nano-structuring, as well as coating technologies enabling precise control of wettability, roughness, and biological response. Contributions combining advanced spectroscopic or multimodal characterization with structure–property–function correlations to monitor degradation, integration, or tissue regeneration are strongly encouraged.
We invite you to submit your latest findings and help shape a collection that bridges advanced processing, reliable characterization, and translational impact.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Functional Biomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
